Zinka Milanov Sings Verdi

   I have selected commercial recordings of Verdi material as sung by my all-time favorite diva, Zinka Milanov. Since Nimbus has just put out two Milanov albums (one pictured), I thought I would celebrate the recordings made on RCA by Mme.Milanov. Featured are highlights from Aida, Trovatore, Forza, Ballo, and Otello. I have chosen scenes from the Nimbus album and from other commercial recordings...but again I tell you, you HAD TO BE THERE!               (69 min.)

    Thank you so much for this episode especially for the Otello highlight absolutely stunning.

    It allowed me to rediscover this unbelievable voice and I start thinking you're right : those voices are nearly gone today.

    looking forward to listening to your new podcasts (one dedicated to baritone or basses?) here back in France,

    Wow! Just discovered your site. Milanov's "Pace" is in my Top Five of all time. That crescendo on the beginning Pace -- what words can say what that does to me? I'm SO glad I've discovered you. Find me on YouTube as LanzaLover.
